On Saturday 28 December 2024, Ryanair confirmed that it will take delivery of up to 29 new Boeing 737 aircraft in 2025, described as a $3 billion investment in new aircraft technology that will create over 2,000 new jobs for what they describe as highly paid aviation professionals in Europe.
According to Ryanair, their new B737 aircraft, which cut CO2 emissions by 16% and noise by 40% (while carrying 4% more passengers), will be allocated to efficient, low-cost airports in EU countries where governments are stimulating aviation growth, such as Sweden, Italy, Spain and Poland. They added that there will be no growth in countries raising taxes.
Ryanair’s Head of Comms, Jade Kirwan said: “While most of Europe’s airlines remain capacity constrained, Ryanair is on track to take delivery of 29 new Boeing 737 aircraft in 2025. This additional capacity will enable Ryanair to grow our passengers from 200m in 2024 to 210m in 2025, and create 2,000 new jobs for highly paid aviation professionals at many of Europe’s most efficient, low-cost airports, where governments are stimulating sustainable aviation growth by abolishing aviation taxes and lowering airport fees.”
